BAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Advices by

China and japan, state that some Japan.
csc who had obtained permission from
h Corean government started fishing
for Awabi shell-fish, much valued in
japan, in various parts OF the coast OF
Quellport Islands. The Chinese, who
had got a friendly s'tip'' about the en-
terprise Of the Japanese, arrived upon
the fishing ground of Q%uellport and COM
menced operations. The Japs pointed
out to them that they had no legal right
there. Remonstrances were In vain,
however, and from words they went on
to blows, and at last got intodeadly strife
on the sea shore.
The Coreans with a view of putting q
stop to the fracas and slaughter, which
was going on, came down in large num-
beers to urge the combatants to return to
their ships but the Chinese set upon the
Coreans furiously and the latter in their
defense engaged in strife with the in
vadeEa Many Coreans and Chinese and
Japanese were slaughtered, but the Cor

Chinese and Japanese look to their ships
and sailed away. The matter will prob

LONDON, Aug. 19.--The course of abso-
luton pursued by Prince ferdinand
since his arrival in Bulgaria has aroused
a majority of the European newspapers
to declare thai he has undertaken an ad
venture that has f~iagrantly violated the
treaty of Berlin and outraged public
rights. This almost unanimous attitude
of the influential press of the continent
is of rery recent origin and the fact that
many of the papers holding these views
are semi-oficial organs aud their articles
probably inspired auger's Ill for the CON
t%inuance of Prince Ferdinand's career as
a ruler. The changed attitude Of the
German press Is due not only so much to
Russian influence as to a realization Of
the coniestable justice of the czar's
claims.

N# AL ELrL
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, l9s-It is learned
by the arrival of the steamer St. Paul
from Behring sea that the United States
revenue cutter Rush, which had been
seizing the sealing vessels, mentioned in
Capt. Shepherds report to the treasury

tain of the Angel Dolly named r, N.

CAPT. FREER AND HIS STORY.

by the Dispatches.

by the Dispatches.
MANITowoC, Wis, Aug. 19.-One Of
che of the schooner George A..
Marsh arrived here from Chicago in
company with a deputy-sheriff and OBJ
tanned from Capt. Freer 8 full statement
Of his connection with the escape. of Nc
Garigle. Capt. Freer wa assured that if
he would tell the truth his employers
would retain him and the Chicago au-
thorities would make no effort to punish
him for conveying the boodler to Can
ada. 1t was not necessary to offer these in
dneements, for Capt. Freer had already
made up his mind to tell the officers all
he knew about the affair. Freer con-
fessed to having gone aboard of the Blake
of Thunder Bay, Lake Huron, where he
informed the fugitive that the officers
were on his track. While in the cabin
Of the Blake McGarigle got down on his
knees, Il with tears streaming down his
face ~piteously pleaded with Capt. Freer to
save him. The entreaties of the terror
stricken wretch SO touched Capt. Freer's
sympathetic heart that he forgot all
about the risk he was taking, and took
McGarigle aboard of his own vessel.
When the tug chartered by The Chicago
Tribune was sighted near the entrance to
he st. Clair river Capt. Freer says Nc
Carlyle displayed the most arrant cow
ardice he ever saw in a man, and he
wondered how a IA of SO little nerve
could ever have been chief of police in
a big city like Chicago. From the time
the tug was sighted until he got ashore
McGarigle was In a state OF mind border
ing on insanity. He lay in the cabin
weeping violently and beseeching Capt.
Freer to save him for the sake of his wife
and children. His sobs and means did
not cease until the yawl that took him
away from the vessel reached the Grand
Trunk dock at Point Edward. McGari-
gle sprang out of the boat, regained his
nerve and ram away with the alacrity OF
q stag that is racing before a pack OF
hounds.
